Zusammenfassung:	This essay proposes an oblique reading of the Cave of Montesinos episode (Book II, chaps. 22-23) that discerns several Erasmian references. Unlike earlier scholarship, which either detects a philosophical affinity between Don Quixote and Erasmus's Praise of Folly or dismisses any substantial link between the two authors, this paper makes a case for reading the cave episode as a foil to the Enchiridion militis christiani [Manual for the Christian Knight], a work to which Cervantes did have access.
